Monty Panesar: I used to lie and say I was from Bedford
When he was growing up, former England cricketer Monty Panesar was ashamed to admit he came from Luton.
鈥淲hen I used to play cricket and people would ask me where I was from, I鈥檇 say Bedford,鈥� he said.
But in the past few years, Monty says he鈥檚 changed his mind. He thinks Luton is on the up and says he is fed up with it being criticised.
In a special report for 麻豆社 Radio 5 Live, the left-arm spinner wanted to show why Luton no longer deserves its bad reputation.
